On Tuesday, the Canadian dollar edged lower against its U.S. counterpart as U.S inflation data led some investors to speculate that the Bank of Canada might align with a potential substantial interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Canada’s annual inflation rate slowed to 2% in August, down from 2.5% in July, aligning with the Bank of Canada’s inflation target and marking the slowest pace since February 2021. This result was below the expected 2.1%.

Earlier this month, at the Bank of Canada’s monetary policy announcement, Governor Tiff Macklem emphasized the need to guard against the risk of inflation falling below the target due to sluggish economic growth.
Canada’s economic growth has been slowing, with third-quarter GDP expected to come in at just half of the Bank of Canada’s projection. The steady increase in the unemployment rate and the deceleration in economic expansion indicate that elevated interest rates are effectively cooling the economy.
Moreover, it has lowered its key policy rate three times consecutively, reducing it by a total of 75 basis points to 4.25%. Market anticipate that central bankers will cut their policy rate by 50 basis points next month to accelerate the shift toward a more neutral stance. A neutral policy stance is when the interest rate is within the so-called neutral range of 2.25% to 3.25%, a level where rates neither constrain nor stimulate economic growth. Therefore, investors anticipate approximately 100 basis points of total easing across the final three BoC meetings in 2024, suggesting at least one cut exceeding 25 basis points.
